    As the 2012 Ninja 650 has been launched , I was trying to assess the launch price and date for Daytona 675.

    Daytona 675 was expected at price of 7 lac ex-showroom but it doesn't look logically feasible to me know.

    Price of daytona is 8,599 British pounds Sulfur Yellow Triumph Daytona 675 Highlights New 2012 Colors - Motorcycle.com News | Motorcycle.com News that equates to 7.39 lac INR approx.Now adding 30% extra (duty etc ) to it which makes it 9.58 lac approx.

    How can they launch daytona 675 at 7 lac ex showroom price.

    At more than 9 lacs INR it's out of reach for people who were expecting it at 8 lacs.

    I have to again look at the Ninja as an alternate .
    That would be damning. I was considering the Ducati 795/Triumph 675/Ninja 650 to be similarly priced and I hope they are.

      Even if the price mentioned in UK websites is OTR it's coming out to be 7.39 lac INR in UK.

      UK is homeland for triumph so no duties for them, In india add 30% to it.

      How can you expect Daytona 675 at 7.5 lac OTR mumbai.?

      I would be more than happy if I am proven wrong here as I am waiting for this bike.

          Again let me point you to the case of the Ninja siblings... The price is almost the same as the on-road Mumbai (our 250 is 60k cheaper and the 650 is 60k dearer)... Those too are ckd's coming in from Thailand... Triumph has huge a plant in Thailand too, so I am sure they will take the benefits of the FTA with Thailand... The onroad price in UK comes to roughly 7 lacs... Hence, I presume the OTR Mumbai would be +/- 50k on that price...

          This is just adding 2 + 2 on my part... Please don't shoot me...

          p.s.: sorry for the late reply... Don't come here too often...

                    • Triumph To Set Up Plant In Karnataka

                      July 17, 2012: British manufacturer Triumph Motorcycles and the Karnataka government have signed an MoU under which the company is to set up its plant at Narsapura, 50km east of Bangalore and on the Bangalore-Chennai highway. The state government has sanctioned around 30-40 acres to Triumph to build its facility. According to reliable sources, Triumph has committed an investment of Rs 400 crore to the project and the state government is currently formulating the tax-related and other benefits for Triumph for the near future.



                      The manufacturer had revealed plans to begin selling its bikes in India via the CKD route but had to put that on the backburner when its India managing director Ashish Joshi put in his papers a few months ago.

                              This is another example of why I gave up on getting a Tiger. Triumph has pushed back their intro, and now is starting to fudge on their pricing. Further, according to another upthread post, they've put the CKD process on hold due to Joshi's departure, so ultimately they may not even be able to manage the CKD pricing at all, and go the CBU route like Suzuki, Honda, and Yamaha.

                              Sorry, Triumph. I had high hopes, but there's just too much evidence that you don't have your s#it together enough to have any confidence in you.
